I've read about connecting an external webcam to a Mac in clamshell mode, but in my case I'm interested in doing so but connecting the camera to the external monitor and not to the Mac, cause no more ports available on the Macbook. Is this possible in any particular way? Does it depende on the compatibility of camera-monitor-Macboook or is it is impossible at all?
Thank you very much.

Correct, not possible.
Correct, not possible.
You’d need a display that connects to the Mac with Thunderbolt 3 or USB-C, not HDMI/DP. The display would also need USB ports (assuming the webcam is USB).
I’m connecting the monitor to the Mac through an USB C-HDMI cable. The monitor only has HDMI and DP ports (and a USB A). Not possible then?
